Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good +. 71 pages illustrations 24 cm. Hardcover. Publisher's original 1/4 green colored cloth and decorated paper over boards, gilt lettering to spine. Book Condition: faint signs of handling, else fine. Dust Jacket Condition: clipped, light wear to extremities but altogether lovely and well preserved jacket. Gift inscription dated Christmas 1962 to "Yvette" from "David and Patti Bryden" and ALS (autograph letter signed) from Carmen Bernos de Gasztold addressed to "Madame Yvette Ripplinger" and dated 10/1/1963 (Jan. 10, 1963 in U.S. date order), very close to publication date. Letter includes transmittal envelope and is handwritten in ink and signed by Gasztold. Written in French, approximately 150 words. Condition of envelope and letter is about fine for both. Signed copies of this work are rare, letters by Gasztold exceedingly rare. The sterling provenance of this offering: that is, the appearance of this letter laid-in to this book with iron clad confirmation that they belong together (PO inscription to Yvette in book - letter is addressed to Yvette Ripplinger) and haven't been "married" as a marketing strategy heightens the rare and wonderful nature of this offering. The letter, handwritten in French, has been 60 years patiently waiting for its first translation into English. Translation by Rumer Godden with illustrations by Jean Primrose. From Wikipedia: Carmen Bernos de Gasztold (1919 - 1995) was a French poet who lived in a Benedictine abbey. Her most famous collection is titled "Prayers from the Ark". The 1955 publication consists of short poems, each expressing a prayer from some animal on Noah's Ark. The book was translated into at least six languages, including an English version by Rumer Godden. Poet Marianne Moore praised the collection; actor Marian Seldes recorded a spoken word album of the poems; composers Ivor R. Davies and Frieder Meschwitz set them to music.
